Thanks for visiting the site and learning about smart marketing. Something you may not realize is that it pays to be smart online. Reputation management, for example, is an industry that has cropped up recently. Its purpose is to offset the damage done by people like pranksters who find it fun to do damage to others. One is example of this is Solo Build It Scam which is a campaign undertaken by competitors to steal customers and market share. If you follow that link, you will discover how the technique can be used by anyone. It pays to be smart and watch out for things like this and avoid them when possible.
